When you look at Bo Byram's two-year, 7.7 million-dollar contract, it's easy to dismiss it as a typical bridge deal. A closer look should allow you to see it as contracting the services of the league's next great defender at a heavy discount for the next two seasons. Moreover, leaving the carrot on the stick for Bo should incentivize even stronger performances and earn him an even bigger contract soon.
